While research into the Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) mutual help groups in Romania in only at the beginning, the role of spirituality in the process of recovery from alcohol use disorders (AUD) in the context of AA has not been approached yet. The purpose of this paper is to document the existing research on AA in Romania and to discuss the role of spirituality in recovery in AA. Exiting research on AA in Romania and recent research on spirituality in AA were documented. Spirituality is a core element in recovery from AUD in the context of 12- step programs and further research in the Romanian mutual help groups should focus on unveiling its influence on affiliation to AA and long-term sobriety as there are no studies addressing spirituality in recovery in Romania.
